I love this quote about Hope. I also know that Hope is expectation and not wishful thinking.  We have HOPE in Jesus Christ. Moroni 7:41 says: "And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise." 

We don't just "wish" that is true. We EXPECT it will happen because it is what has been promised. I have hope, even in these troubled times. I hope life will get back to normal and we will be on our way to New Zealand to fulfill our mission. I expect this will happen, because I have HOPE!
